Inspiring Women Weekly

The American poet E.E. Cummings once said “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.”  Being yourself sounds so simple, but in today’s society, it’s rather hard.  To be free to think how you want, live how you want, and be how you want, is true freedom.  So why are so many of us not living this way?  Authenticity is the goal.  To be genuine and real in everything you do.  And to b...

I love the saying “your past doesn’t have to define you.”  It is so true and it is such a great reminder that what you’ve gone through in the past does not have to be a reflection of who you are today.  However, I do believe it is very important to realize and understand that your past can impact you.  It may not define who you are, but your past can be very impactful.  Many of you have been able...

How many times have you heard people say “I have absolutely no regrets”?  Probably too many times to count.  While I do get where they’re coming from, I personally don’t believe that’s true and I definitely don’t feel that way.  There are things I totally regret doing in my life and I’m going to share those things with you today, and I hope to inspire you to be better.

This episode is for me and you!  With so many things on my plate, I've had to be intentional with prioritizing and taking breaks.  This replay is a reminder to take care of yourself so burnout doesn't come knocking on your door.  I'm taking my own advice and taking breaks when I need to.  I hope this episode inspires you to do the same!

Success is constantly running through most of our minds and I’m sure we are full of do’s and don’ts when it comes to how to become successful.  But I have found that there are many myths out there about success that may be keeping some of you stuck and causing you to waste precious time.  In today’s episode I have going to talk about a few things I want you to stop believing about success.  These...

Enjoy this replay of one of my favorite interviews.  My Husband and I (now married for 12 years) discuss what love is to us and answer some important questions about marriage.  

Stuck!  It’s feeling like every day is groundhog’s day.  You’re sitting in emotions that you just can’t get past.  You’re running in the same place and getting nowhere, making no progress, and going through the same cycle of emotions and behaviors over and over.  It that you?  Do you feel stuck?  In today’s episode, we are going to talk about this feeling of being stuck and break down a few things...

Today, Imma tell you about yourself.  I think you need to know who you really are.  In a world where you’ve probably been called a lot of different things and been defined as a lot of different things I believe it’s time that you know who you truly are.  So in today’s episode, I’m going to take some time, because I got time today, to remind you just who you are, who you really are!  And I hope to...

So, let’s have another conversation that I believe is long overdue. The notion that six figures are the end-all and be-all of success. If you’ve been on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and especially now, clubhouse, you’ll find conversations all about how to make six figures and it has become the career gold standard. But guys, we need to talk. We need to talk about why making six figures should be...

So let’s talk about something that seems to be running rampet within our society and that is this copy-cat mentality.  That if you want to be successful you must look like everyone else, talk like everyone else, and do what everyone else is doing and do it exactly how they are doing it.  This basically turns everyone into clones.  And it leads me to ask…where is the originality?  In todays society...

I hope you guys are starting this year off putting your best foot forward. Like most of you I have created a few things I hope to accomplish this year, I have some habits I plan to develop, and all that good stuff...but there is one thing that I know I need to quit that will totally change my 2021 and that is how I use social media. In today’s episode I’m going to get real and raw about how social...

Happy new year everyone and welcome to the first episode of 2021. Most of you are super glad that 2020 is done and you have high hopes and great expectations for this new year or do you? If 2020 has taught us anything it is that nothing is for certain and because of that some of you may be very cautious with creating goals and desires for this year. But are they were a few things that I truly hope...

Welcome to the last episode of 2020!  What a year it has been and it is only right that before we move on to 2021, that we talk about what we learned in this year.  In today’s episode I am going to tell you a few things I learned and you’ll probably see that you learned a few of these things too.  I’m going to discuss what 2020 taught me mentally, physically, socially, professionally, spiritually,...

So normally this time of year, I produce a special Christmas episode that is all about the season, but this year, I’ve decided to do things differently.  I know that we are in what’s considered the most wonderful time of the year, but I cannot ignore the difficulty that many people are facing, including myself, this holiday season.  Right now life may be described how Charles Dickens said it “it w...

So, over this holiday season, you may be spending more time or talking to your family a little more than normal. And in that communication, there may be some conflict. Sometimes you may not agree, or you may get on each other’s nerves, or old issues may come into the present. Whatever the case, I want to help you handle this conflict in a way that it does not ruin your relationship. I want to give...

Every year websites and magazines come out with the top 30 people under the age of 30 or maybe even a 40 under 40. For most, it is an honor to be apart of this list. But through my work as a therapist I’ve seen far too often how this correlation between success and age has lead to a generation of people, especially women, who determine their worth by how much they accomplish, how many boxes they c...

It’s impossible!  How many times have you said or heard that?  It’s just impossible.  No matter whether it’s your ideas about school, your career, or even in raising your children, it’s like there’s always somebody there with their two cents and saying “it’s impossible.”  Well, I’m here to tell you that those people are wrong.  In today’s episode, we will talk about sources of positivity for your...

Happy holidays!!! Well…maybe this holiday, you aren’t feeling too happy.  Things are different, very different, more different than they have been in most of our lifetimes.  And while we all had hopes that things would be back to normal by now, they aren’t and we are now entering into the holiday during a pandemic.  I’m sure, like me, many of your plans have changed and you may be having a hard ti...

So last week we talk about doing it big and I gave you all the reasons why you should go live out your wildest dreams! Now, we often discuss the fear of failure which is one of the biggest fears that keeps us from going for it, I wanted to explore an equally powerful fear, that is the fear of success. In today’s episode, we will discuss the fear of success, what it may look like in your life, and...

November is here and it is truly one of the most wonderful times of the year. But this year is noticeably different. A lot has changed in 2020 that may make this time of year a little more difficult than normal. We have to deal with losing an hour of sunlight on top of everything that was already going crazy in 2020. So today’s episode is here to be a quick pick me up to help you figure out how to...

You aren’t able to go travel, you aren’t able to hang out with friends and family, you’re spending most of your days at home. Life may be feeling kind of blah. So how do you find inspiration during this time of redundancy? In today’s episode, I want to share with you A few things to try if you need a little inspi...

As much as we would love for it to be, life isn’t always cupcakes, rainbows, and fun.  There are times in life where things are just…hard.  Maybe you’re going through a tough time right now and you don’t feel so great.  It’s hard to see the bright side of things when it’s been raining for days and you don’t know when a positive change is going to come.  I get it, and I know that it is easier said...

When you think about growth, success, or making changes in our life, there is one word that you are bound to hear about and that word is consistency.  We all know that consistency is one of the major keys to being successful and moving forward in life, but the question for today is how?  How can you be more consistent?  In today's episode, I’m going to give you my 5 must do’s if you want to be con...

So the very first episode of this podcast was about how rejection had brought me to that point in life and I figured it was high time that we revisited this topic of rejection. Rejection still happens. It’s not something that you outgrow or you become too big for.  Rejection is a part of life. In today’s episode I want to help you learn how to handle rejection so that it doesn’t turn into shame, e...
